Elena Volodina

Meet our nature-loving bride! She's happiest in the mountains, shredding the slopes on her skis, or soaring in a wind tunnel. Whether it's skiing, hiking, or just taking in the beauty of nature, she's always up for an adventure. And when she's not tearing up the slopes or exploring the great outdoors, she's a force to be reckoned with in the corporate world sharing her expertise in digital transformation. With an attentive ear and an open heart, she's always eager to connect with others and maintain her sense of wonder and awe at the world around her.

Jacques Vrolijk

Meet the adventurous groom, a lover of all things outdoors and a master of technology. He's the kind of guy who can spend hours coding away on his computer, but also finds peace in the solitude of a wilderness hike. And when the snow starts falling, you'll find him gliding down the slopes on his skis, always pushing himself to go faster and take on new challenges. A Jack of all trades, he's always eager to learn new things and help others. If you need a companion for a ski trip, a walk in the woods or a chat about blockchain, he's your guy!
